Vintage Chinese Champleve Enamel Articulated Fuchsia Flower Earrings
These are gorgeous! Articulated Fuchsia flower earrings colored
with Champleve enamel. Made in China sometime around the 70s, I
purchased them as New Old Stock from a NYC bead dealer. They had a few
and I bought them all several years ago. When I asked if they had
anymore, she replied "Sorry, no. They haven't made these in decades!" I
had found them hidden in a corner, on the bottom of a shelf - apparently
they had been there for a very long time! So this is the history. Now
the measurements:
Flowers are dimensional and articulated, the
stamen moves, it is very pretty. Flower measures 1 3/4" long by 7/8" at
the widest point and 5/32" at the deepest point, the top petals which
curl up.
Overall earring length is 1 7/8" . I did change the
costume ear wires which were badly tarnished. The new ones are
hypo-allergenic gold plated Stainless Steel.
